The city between seven mountains, is where most guests begin their coastal voyage.
Bergen is a lively city with a welcoming, small-town feel. Here you can explore the famous Bryggen wharf, visit the historic fish market, take the Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen, and enjoy some of Norway’s best museums, music, and cultural experiences.
The city has played an important role in Norwegian history for nearly 1,000 years. Bergen was once Norway’s capital and later became one of the most important trading posts of the Hanseatic League. Today, the UNESCO-listed Bryggen quarter still stands as a proud reminder of the city’s maritime past, with colourful wooden buildings facing the harbour.
Bergen is also known for its strong cultural life. Composer Edvard Grieg was born here, and the city continues to host major festivals, concerts, exhibitions, and events throughout the year. With its busy harbour, university life, and close connection to the sea, Bergen is both historic and modern — the perfect place to begin or end a voyage along the Norwegian coast.
